“The commission works with the Public Health Environmental Laboratories in Trenton to verify the presence of West Nile Virus and other communicable diseases in their samples,” Nash said. “If a pool tests positive, the Mosquito Commission returns to spray the area. The sprayings take place when the mosquitoes are most active.”

The mosquito spray is not harmful to humans or pets, but you should avoid direct contact if you have respiratory concerns or are sensitive to irritants.

The Camden County Mosquito Commission suggests checking around your yard for mosquito breeding containers. The following is a checklist of tips to help eliminate mosquito breeding:

Dispose of unnecessary containers that hold water. Containers you wish to save turn upside down or put holes in the bottom so all water drains out.

Lift up flowerpots and dump the water from the dish underneath every week.

Stock fish or add mosquito larvicide to ornamental ponds.

Change water in bird baths, fountains, and animal troughs weekly.

Screen vents to septic and other water tanks.

Store large boats so they drain and small boats upside down. If covered, keep the tarp tight so water does not pool on top of the tarp.

Do not dump leaves or grass clippings into a catch basin or streams.

Do not allow water to collect on sagging tarps or awnings.

Do not allow trashcan lids to fill with water.

Check downspouts that are able to hold enough water to allow mosquito larvae to mature.
